Adieu, Adieu to yieu and yieu and yieu - 02/09/2017 18:10
So after around 11 or so years of Coupe Ownership my LE finally met its new owner today and headed off North. I'll let the new owner pass on the details but needless to say its a Forumer and pleased its also a fellow enthusiast. I first tested a 16V not long after the launch at Millbrook at a trade event and as an eternal Italian enthusiast it was immediately on my 'must-have' list. Before the LE I had an early 16V NA in Speed Red and the LE followed a short while later - thanks to working with MCMike and dabbling with his collection. My car came from non other than Iceberg himself and near 9 years and some 35k-odd later its never missed a beat. Visited Paul 12 monthly for a service and MoT and I've loved every mile driving it. There is nothing for the money that is as visually and aurally as exciting as a Coupe. Unfortunately there are other vehicles that have more room and with x2 rapidly increasing-in-size Rugby playing lads and Mrs Nello's desire to be able to for-once choose the car she wants necessitated its move to a new owner. I'd like to say thanks to every single Coupe owner and forumer on here and to FCCUK as a whole - this place is the single-most useful/informative and entertaining motoring site on the t'interweb. I'll pop on here every now and then still and will still pester Mike for a go in one of his now and again though there's still a fair few Italian steeds out there I want to put in Nello's stable whenever possible. I'm off now to look for her 500X - though as she never comes on here - between the two of us there's some cracking Brera S's on offer at the mo! Ciao!
